“My impression is that most dentists are not strongly marketing the replacement of amalgam fillings because people might start asking: “What were you putting into our mouths all these years?””
When I asked my Dentists about it, he said that ALL fillings had Mercury in them, and then gave me the standard boilerplate speech about how the FDA, medical researchers, and the EPA had all cleared Mercury for use in fillings, etc etc etc. I’m still a little disturbed at the knowledge that I’ve had mercury in my mouth for years.
I asked my dentist about the alleged danger of mercury fillings years ago, and he pooh-poohed it. I guess dentists are covering their rears to avoid lawsuits.
